The Forbes Under 30 Summit: The World's Brightest Young Game-Changers Are Convening in Philadelphia in October

When you type the word “Forbes” into Google, one of the very first terms that auto-populates, usually above “400” or “Billionaires” or even “Magazine,” is “30 Under 30.” In just its third year, our annual list of the 30 biggest young game-changers in 15 different fields, as selected by top luminaries in each category, has quickly become a phenomenon. This January, the 30 Under 30 generated more than 8 million pageviews during the week it launched online. Spotify’s Daniel Ek, Tumblr’s David Karp and Snapchat’s Evan Spiegel have all introduced themselves to the world through that issue’s magazine cover, and the inside has been filled with young unknowns like Instagram’s Kevin Systrom and Oculus’ Palmer Luckey who would soon generate billion-dollar scores.
